His Mortal Demise (#2 The Last Bloodcarver Duology)

Description

Kochin is a Heartsooth - a rare being with the ability to heal any wound. Any wound, that is, except death. Gradually he realises the answer to his desperate quest can only lie in one place- Yarong, the lush yet war-torn island the first heartsooths called home. But how much is he willing to sacrifice in order to reunite with the woman he loves? Meanwhile, Nhika wakes up in a familiar manor-house, dazed and confused. With Kochin nowhere to be found, she sets her mind to finding him, no matter the cost... The stunning dual point of view sequel to The Last Bloodcarver, where morals will be tested, hearts pushed to the limit, and fates determined once and for all.
